Chapter 1065: The End of the Drawing Reveals the Dagger

Chu Feng was dumbfounded, completely stunned. Was this 'grandson' hiding in the stone coffin a Great Expert? Had he been pretending to be foolish all this time, impersonating the most insidious and venomous Nine Netherworld Deity?

He felt unwell, overwhelmed by surprise. He had never imagined that the Great Expert from the Yang Realm, living in seclusion in the borderlands, was right beside him!

However, after a moment's thought, Chu Feng found the idea unreliable, quite unlikely.

Before this, he had personally experienced the terrifying dream of a Great Expert who was at the very end of their decline, on the verge of death. If not for the protection of the stone jar, his bones would have rotted to dust.

Not only him, even Ji Caixuan and Li Jiuxiao, two exceptionally talented Divine Kings on the Yang Realm's list, had nearly died horribly, hovering at the gates of hell, only escaping by relying on treasures bestowed by their ancestors.

"This is a wrongful accusation! How could I be him? In my previous life, I might have had such power, but what evolutionary stage am I at now? I'm nowhere close!"

The Nine Netherworld Deity protested loudly, the stone coffin shaking violently as it expressed its extreme agitation.

"Furthermore, if I were a Great Expert, and not afraid of offending you two, why would I endure this humiliation? With my temper, I would have attacked long ago!"

"Are you saying you want to fight us?" The hunter with the human head and gecko body stood on the stone coffin, looking down. Blinding beams of light shot from its empty eyes, and thunder exploded in the void!

The Nine Netherworld Deity quickly corrected itself, saying, "You two envoys have misunderstood. What I meant was, if I were a Great Expert, I would have long since smacked that little bastard down the mountain to death."

Chu Feng had initially been enjoying listening to the self-defense, but his expression soured. The monster in the stone coffin was indeed never benevolent.

Almost simultaneously, the Nine Netherworld Deity and Chu Feng vied to speak, each offering malicious advice against the other.

"I tell you two, that little bastard down the mountain is the most suspicious! He's not old, but he's already rotten from head to toe, with sores on his head and pus under his feet!"

"You two envoys, this 'grandson' in the stone coffin is definitely a Reincarnator! He must be thoroughly interrogated. A prehistoric cultivator revived in a coffin, with all memories intact – if he's not a Reincarnator, who is? This is simply defying the heavens, a reincarnation within a coffin!"

They both shouted at the same instant, trying to trip each other up and use others to kill.

The Nine Netherworld Deity retorted, "You little bastard, you want to get me killed? You must have a guilty conscience! I died eons ago and revived as a Nine Netherworld Deity, with memories, only because this stone coffin bears the imprint of my past life and records everything. If you don't believe me, you can open the coffin and verify."

Chu Feng sneered, "I'm a genius; it's quite normal for there to be many prodigious talents in the Yang Realm who exhibit such abilities. But you're the only case of someone reincarnating within a stone coffin; there's definitely something wrong! Furthermore, you want us to open the coffin to escape, clearly harboring malicious intent and plotting something major! I suggest throwing this coffin into a forbidden land and eradicating it on the spot!"

"Silence, both of you!" one of the Reincarnation Hunters bellowed.

The other hunter, utterly indifferent, said, "A few years ago, there was a great disturbance in the borderlands. Someone mistakenly entered the dream of a dying Great Expert. At the same time, the Eye of Reincarnation also detected that at that moment, the earth cracked open, and a stone coffin emerged. This was clearly not a dying person, but a cicada shedding its skin."

Chu Feng was moved. He sat on a rock, rubbing his temples, feeling a headache. Even he was starting to waver. Could the Nine Netherworld Deity really be that Great Expert?

The Nine Netherworld Deity cried out, "I... I'm being wrongly accused! I won't take the blame for this. That 'grandson' harmed me; he must have long since deduced and anticipated this scene today!"

Then, it added, "That was a Great Expert! Especially in their twilight years, they can glimpse heavenly secrets and foresee their own fortunes and misfortunes. This is about disrupting the Great Dao and obscuring the truth, using me to suffer in their place!"

At this moment, the three-eyed, hawk-beaked black fox suddenly sighed, "Once a slave to reincarnation, one forgets the worries of a past life. You and I should not revive thoughts of our previous lives, or we will instantly turn to dust. Let everything proceed according to the rules."

"Yes, I was overthinking," the hunter with the human head and gecko body said, its eyes now hollow and lusterless. "One who hears the cry and does not fall has not truly passed through reincarnation."

Immediately, a terrifying cry erupted in the area. Chu Feng's soul light turned dark, but he held his ground and did not fall.

The stone coffin vibrated, and the Nine Netherworld Deity cried, "I'm really not that Great Expert! I'll prove it to you!" The coffin suddenly stood upright and began thumping and bouncing, like a walking zombie.

"Go, capture that true powerful cultivator who reincarnated with memories!" Just then, an ancient and indifferent voice echoed from the void.

Over a dozen creatures descended from the sky. They were all grotesque and belonged to different races, but they shared a common feature: they were skin and bones, like desiccated corpses.

They were all Reincarnation Hunters. Including the two on the ground, there were thirteen in total!

The creature leading them had a head full of white hair and was extremely gaunt. It was a humanoid being with a pair of golden, withered wings on its back. It led the group of hunters away, moving incredibly fast, traversing the void.

A group of hunters entering the borderlands? Chu Feng's heart grew heavy!

But soon, his attention shifted to the Nine Netherworld Deity. This 'grandson' was trying to harm him again – though he conveniently ignored his own past slanders against the Deity.

"Nine Netherworld Deity, or rather, a Great Expert who has lost all their power, right?" Chu Feng demanded.

A voice of refutation immediately came from the stone coffin, saying, "What nonsense are you spouting? I am the Nine Netherworld Deity! Don't try to frame me. Remaining unharmed after hearing the cry is proof enough!"

"You must have anticipated today's events, so you came prepared," Chu Feng probed.

"I'm too lazy to talk to you further. If I were a Great Expert right now, I'd smack you, you little brat, to death!"

"That's because you're in a weakened state."

"What's with the pointless probing? The timing doesn't even match up. I disdain talking to you anymore."

"You old scoundrel, daring to harm me today? Time to pay up!" Chu Feng shouted.

Then, the area began to shake violently. The stone coffin tumbled end over end, accompanied by curses and rebukes.

Chu Feng pressed to know the whereabouts of the Fourth Treasure Tree of Heaven and Earth. He had clearly heard that this Nine Netherworld Deity had hidden the roots and other parts of the Heavenly Profound Treasure Tree.

After so many years, it was probably fully recovered and had grown into a supreme treasure tree.

"I threw it into the Fourth Forbidden Land of the Yang Realm. Do you dare to go in?" the Nine Netherworld Deity scoffed.

Chu Feng said, "Today, I've seen my own weakness. I want to become strong quickly. I truly want to uncover the secrets of the Reincarnation Hunters and who is behind them. Second brother, are you willing to reach the peak of evolution with me, explore the world, and achieve ultimate evolution?"

"You get sappy at the drop of a hat. I'm ashamed to be associated with you!" the Nine Netherworld Deity sneered.

Chu Feng threatened, "I'm being polite, so don't refuse. Be careful, or I'll really throw you back into the Underworld!"

"Alright, from today onwards, we shall wield our swords and travel the world together," the Nine Netherworld Deity conceded.

On this day, in the depths of the borderlands, within the Black Domain Forest, earth-shattering energy fluctuations erupted, causing several violent tremors. Brilliant light illuminated the sky over Yuzhou.

Some witnessed a group of Reincarnation Hunters making their move there!

But soon, everything in that area became quiet again.

However, something utterly astonishing happened in Yongzhou. Bloodlight surged, covering endless territory. The resurrected ancient being let out roars that sent shivers down the spines of Heavenly Venerates, causing all the powerful individuals secretly observing to cry out in alarm, their eyes bleeding.

"Oh no, there wasn't actually anyone truly forcing their way through reincarnation in the borderlands. Someone just created a diversion, sending the hunters away. Is this to help that individual in Yongzhou succeed?"

"That individual from Yongzhou once controlled one-third of the Yang Realm's territory. Now that they've revived, are they trying to force their way through reincarnation? Impossible!"

"What impossible? This person's soul light must have been imprisoned on the path of reincarnation. This time, they've broken free! Everyone had underestimated them before!"

That day, astonishing news erupted near Yongzhou. Countless powerful figures across the world began to pay attention, and people discussed it animatedly.

Heavenly Venerates emerged from seclusion and personally arrived outside Yongzhou.

Great Experts also revived, gazing coldly at that mountain range from afar.

"Someone is seeking death, daring to use that individual from Yongzhou as a talking point, as a shield to attract external attention. They have no idea what's coming."

"Saying he's forcing his way through reincarnation? That's completely absurd. He's been alive in Yongzhou of the Yang Realm all along, hasn't he?"

This time, a Great Expert personally spoke out, shaking the eight wildernesses that day and revealing certain truths.

The ancient being in Yongzhou had not perished back then; in fact, they had been alive all along, lying dormant beneath a famous mountain.

This time, someone had misled various parties, using this individual to draw attention.

"What immense courage! Deceiving the Reincarnation Hunters to go to the borderlands, then using this individual from Yongzhou as a pretense. Someone is inviting serious trouble today, doing something shady."

That day, several states in the Yang Realm were thrown into turmoil as many astonishing pieces of news spread.

"Some ancient families are quite formidable, managing to contact Reincarnation Hunters. Stirring up such trouble, what exactly are they trying to hide?"

On this day, even the patriarchs of some great evolutionary sects emerged from seclusion.

Some Heavenly Venerates were utterly bewildered, their expressions extremely solemn, feeling that this day was highly unusual and that someone seemed to be planning something significant.

"Deceiving the Reincarnation Hunters and sending them away... what could possibly be worth such a risk, such... reckless action!?"

Finally, the truth was revealed. Yin State on the primeval land exploded, half the state was destroyed, blood flowed like rivers, countless beings perished, and massive gray mist surged skyward, obscuring the sun, moon, and stars.

This was an unprecedented and tragic event, shaking the vast Yang Realm.

No one had anticipated that Yin State would burst open like a broken dam, causing immense chaos and panic!
